We Did It Escapists! :D

[PsychicTaco115]

That Zoë thread passed the 100 page mark

I'm 97% sure that's the BIGGEST thread to have just started about 5 days ago and not like 4 years ago or something

So I feel we should commemorate this by doing something stupid

Yes it's a gimmick but goddamn it we need MORE gimmicks!

Any ideas of stupid shit to do?

 

[Imp_Emissary]

Talk in the Zoe Quinn thread? ;p

Anyway.

Spoiler: :D I'm pretty partial to fireworks.

They're pretty and illegal because people keep blowing their thumbs off with them. ;D

How about threads that explain the mystery of why fun things are fun.

Snippity

I think that's a bit too silly

Dippiity

What's this about Zoe Quinn?

Did something happen?

 

[thundra]

Spoiler

well congrats, I have never being so proud of being a gamer.

 

[PsychicTaco115]

Stupid me, I forgot the celebratory noise!


I for one am MUCH more celebrated now

 

[BloatedGuppy]

Surprised you missed the 100+ page thread about it.

I usually don't like people saying "impossible to miss" when giving directions, but the Zoe Quinn thread really is impossible to miss.

100 pages!

I'm pretty wary of anything that hits 100 pages on the Escapist off-topic forum.

Did Bioware release another ME3 ending? Is that it?

 

[JoJo]

All the staff should PM nudes to us users as recompense for whatever wrongs they've supposedly committed. Mods as a bonus, if they feel inclined.

 

[Scarim Coral]

Err I take it you don't visit the Forum Game subsection? Over there there are several threads that had reach over 100 pages!

Sure it is somewhat an impressive feat given it's in the off topic but I'm not please about it (it had to be a controversial topic).

 

[BloatedGuppy]

Meh, takes too much to explain, so I'll let someone else do it for me:

http://www.escapistmagazine.com/forums/jump/18.858347.21289729

(btw, fun fact: As bad as ME3 was, no ME3 thread EVER got to 100 pages)

I kid, I kid. I know all about Zoe and her sexy misadventures.

I'm just a bit sad about the existence of that thread, so I gently poke fun at it via feigned disinterest. See how clever and subtle I am?

I'm SUPER clever and subtle.

What's this about Zoe Quinn?

Did something happen?

Yes.

Mass Effect 4 released, but it contained nothing more than feminist propaganda.

Even the Krogan were marginalized as being "woman-hating monsters".

OT: I've been listening to Pendulum. Like, non-stop.

Is that good enough?

I could link some for everyone else.

I'm going to link some.

It's complete garbage. I can't believe people are absolutely losing their minds over this for this long. Normally stuff like this dies at the end of the day, and it's entirely gone by next week.

Remember the TotalBiscuit debate when he was effortlessly censored because the game developer didn't want a negative review to be the most popular result for their game? I'd understand people getting bent out of shape for that, when censorship is used against criticism and there exists a system that allows that to happen so easily and undoing it took too much effort despite TotalBiscuit having so much evidence and manpower helping him undo it...

But we're talking about a Flash game getting boosted projections because of the game developer...

Total Biscuit is not a woman, nor a self-described social activist, and due to the average age of its users this forum is absolutely obsessed with gender issues. This story is the perfect storm.

I think it's just being used as more fire against the so called "SJWs" though honestly, I don't have too much of a problem with that.

 

[SoranMBane]

Who's this "we?" I never posted in that thread. I glanced at it once to see what the story was, sure, but never posted. I barely even have the emotional stamina to handle your garden variety internet disagreements, much less... Whatever that bloated abomination is.

As for stupid shit to do, well, I don't know if I can help there; the stupidest thing I can think of at this moment would be to contribute any more to that pointless, toxic argument.

 

[Euryalus]

Well, I honestly think we should all celebrate by going to the nearest town center and taking a dump in the middle of it. You go first taco. We'll be right behind you.

 

[TakerFoxx]

I'm actually kind of bewildered by it. Out of all the controversies, that's the one to explode?

 

[BloatedGuppy]

Whatever that bloated abomination is.

Hey now. I may not be perfect but there's no call to start throwing around terms like "abomination". It's bad enough when children shout that at me on the street, I don't need to hear it here, too.

Hey, don't get me wrong, I'm as big an advocate of puffer fish rights as anyone, but you guys are kind of on the chubby side when you get riled up, and those spikes of yours can sting something fierce.

Spoiler: Seriously, look at those things.

I don't have a problem with you, I just don't want to touch or be near you; that's all I'm sayin'.
